THINK TANK ASSOCIATE-Richard E. Bellman, professor of mathematics, engineering and medicine and an expert in the application of computers to the field of medicine, is one of seven new scholars to join the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, based in Santa Barbara. Robert M. Hutchins, center president, explained that none of the seven are required to permanently live in Santa Barbara but that all were to spend a part of the next academic year there. The other new associates include Alex Comfort, a British medical biologist as well as novelist, poet and essayist; Bertrand de Jouvenel, a French political economist; Paul Ehrlich, a Stanford biology professor; Mircea Elizade, history professor at the University of Chicago; Alexander King, director for scientific affairs of the Paris-based Organization for European Cooperation and Development; and Sir Arthur Lewis, Princeton economics professor.
Dr. Zohrab A. Kaprielian has been named Acting Dean of the School of Engineering. He has assumed the responsibilities of Dean Alfred C. Ingersoll who is on sabbatical leave.
That announcement came today from Dr. Milton C. Kloetzel, vice-president for research and graduate affairs. Dr. Kloetzel said that Dr. Kapreilian’s new responsibility is in addition to his duties as Director of the Graduate Center for Engineering Sciences and Chairman of the Electrical Sciences Division.
Appointments of two Associate Deans of the School of
Dr. Grafton to head campus CTA affiliate
Dr. Clive L. Grafton, an assistant dean of students who will assume new duties in the School of Education in the fall, has been elected president of the campus chapter of the California College and University Faculty Association, an affiliate of the California Teachers Assocation.
Dr. Grafton succeeds Dr. Leslie Wilbur, who formed the chapter last fall. W. Chester Hill, clinical instructor in the School of Education, has been named secretary.
The organization, which now has about 100 members on this campus, offers a number of advantageous services, including group life insurance coverage ranging from $6,000 to $40,200, depending on age, at a flat premium of $9 monthly. No physical examination is required of new members.
Engineering were then announced by Dr. Kaprielian/
Prof. Robert C. Merz, professor of civil engineering and chairman of the department, becomes Associate Dean of Engineering responsible for undergraduate programs and alumni affairs.
Prof. Melvin Gerstein, professor of mechanical engineering and chairman of the department, has been appointed Associate Dean with special responsibilities for graduate programs and coordination with the School’s support organizations. Professor Gerstein will continue as Chairman of Mechanical Engineering in addition to his new duties.
Prof. Glenn A. Foy has been named Acting Chairman of Civil Engineering.
The new Acting Dean of the School has been on the USC faculty since 1957 when he was appointed Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering. He became Associate Professor in 1958, and Professor in 1962, when he was also appointed Chairman of the Department of Electrical Engineering.
In 1965 he was appointed Chairman of the newly formed Electrical Sciences Division of the School of Engineering, and in 1968 became Director of the Graduate Center for Engineering Sciences and the Seaver Solid State Sciences Center.
Dr. Kaprielian earned his undergraduate and master’s degree, both in Applied Physics, at the American University in Beirut and his Ph.D. degree from the University of California at Berkeley. Before coming to USC, he was a research fellow and instructor at the California Institute of Technology.

18 fellowships to school of library science
Fourteen Ph.D. fellowships and four master’s fellowships have been awarded to the School of Library Science for the 1969-70 academic year by the Office of Education under Title II-B of the Higher Education act of 1965.
According to Dr. Martha Boaz, dean of the school, each Ph.D. fellowship provides a stipend of $5,000 and each Master’s fellowship $2,200 for the Fall and Spring semesters and $ 1,020 and $450, respectively, for the summer term. Both classes of fellowships are entitled to full tuition remission, travel allowances and allowances for each dependent up to $720.
Three Ph.D. fellows, selected during 1967-68 and re-named for the 1968-69 academic year have elected to continue their studies here for their final year. They are Herbert Hoffman, Michael Sadoski and Lester Kay Smith.
Four Ph.D. fellows, first named in 1968-69, will continue at USC for the next academic year. They are Jerry Cao, Merle E. Lamson, Elaine Parker and Taverekere Srinkantaiah.
Newly named Ph.D. Fellows who will study this year in School of Library Science are Patrica Ann Darling, Philip Fangman, Thomas Kaposi, Joseph Palmer, Wendell Pasternak, William Truett Stanley and George V. Sumners.
The four master’s fellows who will study in the School of Library Science this year are Terry C. Andrus, Michael Burgess, Joseph Jerz, Jr. and Jack Stanley Reynolds.
Dean Boaz also announced the awarding of two Helen E. Haines Scholarships in the amount of $1,183 to David Hostetter and Linda Humphrey.
The Haines scholarships are provided by royalties from two books, “What’s in a Novel ” and “Living with Books,” written by the late Helen E. Haines, a former professor of the school.
Three full-tuition scholarships have been awarded by the School of Library Science to Frank Bambara, Robert L. Singerman and Arthur Westfall.
University gift to Ugandan School
When Dr. Paul D’Arbela returns to Uganda in September he will carry with him a gift of a vectorcardiograph presented to the University of Makerere by the School of Medicine.
The visiting physician has been touring medical facilities in the United States on an Eisenhower Exchange Fellowship. At the Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center, he is participating in the operation of the Coronary Care Unit, under the supervision of its director. Dr. L. Julian Haywood.
Dr. Haywood, associate professor of medicine, said the vectorcardiograph that is being given to Dr. D’Arbela is one that has been replaced at the Medical Center with more sophisticated euqipment. “The older one, nevertheless, will provide more information than the electrocardiograph now being used by the physicians at the Uganda medical school, because it measures the electrical activity of the heart from more areas at one time and it is possible to get a more composit picture,” he said.
A Polaroid camera attachment to the vectorcardiograph also is being included. This photographs oscilloscope readings the doctors may wish to maintain for a permanent record or make into slides for training purposes.
Dr. D’Arbela said the State hospital affiliated with the University of Makerere medical school operates in much the
same relationship as does the USC medical school and the County-USC Medical Center, in that the university provides senior staff personnel for patient care and teaching. He hopes the more versatile vectorcardiograph will help to throw some light on certain obscure EKG patterns they see in their heart disease cases.
“We are most pleased to accept this gift from the department of medicine at USC, because our university and hospital operate on a very low budget and we have not been able to purchase this type of equipment,” he said.
Dr. D’Arbela said he is the only physician chosen this year to visit the U.S. on the Eisenhower Exchange Fellowship program. “A number of countries are invited to participate and the Fellows are selected on a competitive basis,” he explained. This year there were 38. Local committees in each country propose a panel of names to the fellowship’s home office in Philadelphia. There a committee appoints one individual to represent his country. “The fellows come from all walks of life; for example, they may be economists, engineers or politicans,” Dr. D’Arbela added.
The visiting cardiologist said he hopes that next year physicians from the U.S. will be sent to his country on the exchange fellowship. “We have an acute manpower shortage.”
